Need Help with ATI TV Out, Please

I tried running the monitors as seperate 'windows' but ran into too many issues. So now the Monitor and TV show the same image - ( I think the TV IS the primary right now, but I need to double check). The max resolution on the TV is 1024 * 768. Unfortunately, the max res on the monitor / vid card is some ungodly number, and I think that is what is causing me problems.

Is there an easy way to lock the resolution for just vector games, or am I going to have to set it manually, each time?

Thanks again!

 I run Mame32 or simular,  and all you have to do is go to the 'Advanced' tab and select a resolution.  Im sure that its not all that hard to do it in standard mame, by editing the config file for each game that you desire.

 PS: Just tried messing with vector games.  Increase your setting under vector 'Beam' for a better tv picture.

aramis:
Do this:

-Set the desktop to the highest your tv-out supports, probably 800x600 @ 60Hz.

-Turn on the TV output.

If you are using win32 MAME, then do this for each game that has this problem: (tempest is the example). I assume that you want it to be 800x600 for the tv-out.

- make sure you have a mame.ini. If not, type mame -cc at a command prompt to create it.

- copy mame.ini to tempest.ini (or whatever the game zip name is). Leave it in the root MAME folder with mame.ini.

- edit the resolution entry in tempest.ini to 800x600 instead of auto.

-repeat for each game as needed.

For MAME32, just change the resolution from auto to 800x600 in the settings for "this game".

You might want to try this Omega/Plutonium driver. ;)

I don't have any problems running the TV at 1024x768 with vector games. I hope it works as well for you.;)

lightspeed:
Set the TV res to 800x 600 @ 60 Hertz.  I can't imagine that you'd benefit from a higher res unless you have a TV bigger than 31".

Turn off hardware strecth if it is enabled for the vector games.  This should get them all to display properly if you use also specify games' res as 800x600 (or auto-select).

There are very few instances where HW strecth actually helps.  Using it by default for all games will create some issues with Radeon and TV-out that can be manually fixed for each game, as mentioned above.  I find it easier just to disable it by default for all games, and only using it for specific games for which it helps.
